    CORRECTION: SEX IS UNKNOWN. LIST CORRECTION/REMOVAL REPORTING NUMBER: CORRECTED REPORTING NUMBER FROM Z-1026-1027-2013 TO Z-0744-0746-2014. CONCLUSION: BASED ON CAPA INVESTIGATION AND ASTM TESTING, OIL DEGRADATION CAN CAUSE ODOR/SMELLS FOR STERRAD SYSTEMS. ASP INVESTIGATION SUMMARY: THE INVESTIGATION INCLUDED A REVIEW OF THE DEVICE HISTORY RECORD (DHR), SERVICE HISTORY, TRENDING OF THE PRODUCT MALFUNCTION CODE, FAILURE MODE AND EFFECTS ANALYSIS (FMEA), SYSTEM HAZARD AND USER MISUSE ANALYSIS (SHUMA), AND CORRECTIVE AND PREVENTATIVE ACTION (CAPA). THE DHR WAS REVIEWED AND INDICATED NO ANOMALIES WHICH COULD HAVE CONTRIBUTED THE CUSTOMER'S EXPERIENCED ISSUE. THE UNIT MET ALL SPECIFICATIONS AT THE TIME OF RELEASE. THE SERVICE HISTORY FOR THIS UNIT FOR THE PAST SIX MONTHS (10/07/2012 TO 04/05/2013) DID NOT IDENTIFY ANY SIGNIFICANT TREND. THE TREND FOR THE PRODUCT MALFUNCTION CODE OF ODOR/SMELLS IDENTIFIED A BREACH DUE TO THE OUS REMEDIATION EFFORT CONTAINED IN A CAPA. A REVIEW OF THE COMPLAINT HISTORY DID NOT REVEAL A SIGNIFICANT TREND FOR US DATA OVER THE PAST TWELVE MONTHS (JANUARY 2013 THROUGH DECEMBER 2013). THE FMEA REVEALED THE RISK IS AT AN ACCEPTABLE LEVEL. THE SHUMA INDICATES THE RISK IS BROADLY ACCEPTABLE FOR MODERATE LEVEL INJURY OR EXPOSURE AND AS LOW AS REASONABLY PRACTICABLE FOR MILD (LIMITED) EXPOSURE TO ODOR OR ODORANTS. CAPA INVESTIGATION AS WELL AS THE ASTM TESTING PERFORMED INDICATED OIL DEGRADATION CAN CAUSE ODOR/SMELLS FOR STERRAD® SYSTEMS. THE ASP FIELD SERVICE ENGINEER REPLACED THE EXHAUST FILTER AND THE UNIT WAS LEFT IN WORKING ORDER. NO PARTS WERE RETURNED OR AVAILABLE FOR ANALYSIS. THE REPORTED ISSUE WAS RESOLVED AT THE CUSTOMER FACILITY. THE ISSUE WILL BE TRACKED AND TRENDED. NO FURTHER INVESTIGATION IS NECESSARY AT THIS TIME.
